Welcome to Delpha Hudson’s art archive
This site collects and presents some of Delpha’s performance, film and installation projects from 1998 onwards. Her art practice is interdisciplinary and overlapping yet for simplicity projects have been grouped together as performance, film and sculpture.
It also features Delpha’s Theatre of the Self project which explores lived experience & re-writing the self.
Delpha has always painted alongside these project and current paintings reflect a wealth of research, thinking and writing that is informed by these archive projects.
Delpha’s arts practice has always been involved with making multiple bodies of work that are contemporary, political and socially engaged. Her work aims to make women’s lived experience visible and reveal a common condition. She invites everyone to ‘withness’ – to see and feel empathy for women, mothers and carers and bring about equality and societal change.
